Welcome to ACG School Jakarta. Situated in South Jakarta, our school community is inclusive, warm and friendly and offers the highest of academic standards and pastoral care. We are a dynamic school offering an international education to students from around the world.

The International Baccalaureate Programmes and University of Cambridge qualifications we offer provide the basis for smooth progression and easy transition between Primary and Secondary. Our passionate, experienced teachers are professionals who are willing to go the extra mile to ensure that all students are offered the opportunity to fulfil their potential both in and beyond the classroom.

The quality of teaching and learning at ACG School Jakarta and our teachers’ ability to know our students sets us apart from other schools. As Sir John Graham and Dawn Jones, co-founders of Academic Colleges Group, wrote “Excellent teaching is at the heart of high quality learning. Students should be motivated by teachers who love their subject, are highly skilled in communicating their knowledge, enjoy what they are doing, and gain immense pleasure from working with young people.”

Learning and a foundation of excellence are central to ACG School Jakarta. The result is that, whether our students are local or expatriate, returning to Indonesia from overseas, transitioning from another school in Indonesia or seeking places at top universities around the world, ACG School Jakarta students are invariably well-equipped to take the next step in their education.

We are a proud community where our core values of Excellence, Partnerships, Integrity and Compassion underpin all that we do. Education here means so much more than the pursuit of academic results. Sports, the arts, and community service are all central to the balanced learning programmes we offer. We are acutely aware of our obligation to prepare young people to make their way in the world as confident, caring and responsible citizens.

Great schools are built on the efforts of good people, and I believe that our teachers and students are among the very best. Why not come and judge for yourselves? We would be delighted to meet you.
